Comment on Radarr manual import workflow
FunkFactory@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoAre hardlinks directional? I thought they just resulted in 2 identical files that point to the same physical drive space, therefore only taking 1x disk space.
Once I realized Radarr was making those, I basically just mass-hardlinked my old torrent movies directory to my radarr media directory and used the import page.

No you’re right, the hardlinks themselves are not directional. I just misunderstood the advice as meaning that Radarr would create a hardlinked file in my torrent folder, using the existing file in my media library. (It will not)
The part that was tripping me up was that it seemed like I had to manually add the movies to Radarr’s library before it would let me import any of my torrent files. Otherwise it would give me an error saying the movie was unknown.
I think I’m starting to get the hang of it though.
